Juventus are set to defend their title, but you have to wonder if the fuss off the pitch is going to put them off their game just a bit. Antonio Conte failed in his appeal to get his ten month ban overturned, although of course he will continue to try. Meanwhile, he is permitted to train the squad, but Massimo Carrera will stand in during matches. Much of last year's scudetto-winning side remains,with a few minor adjustments. But will it be enough? Juve are still chasing a star-studded striker, which just might be the last piece they need to be sure of a second straight title.
Still, one thing certainly will remain the same: the Old Lady is still the team everyone loves to hate. As for me, I'm just glad they kept the pink kits.
Last Season
Oh come on, you know this story. Unbeaten last season, Juventus claimed their 28th or 30th scudetto -- and if you think we're going to get into that nonsense, you are sorely mistaken. But considering the Old Lady never gave up all three points, you'd have thought their title would've been much easier to clinch. Instead, Conte played it cautious, preferring a series of draws to a loss. Juve got boring in middle of the season, but managed to bring the life back into their game to finish out the year.
Who's Gone?
Alessandro Del Piero: The beloved Juventus captain has tipped his hat and gone on his way, although not without a tear in his eyes. There's not much one can say against Del Piero, no matter how much you hate Juve. He's pretty much a class act and will be missed in Italian football.
Eljero Elia: The Dutchman barely got a look-in at Juventus -- just four appearances before he was pushed to the shadowy recesses of everyone's minds. Having not fit in with Conte's plans, Elia is now plying his trade in Germany with Werder Bremen.
Marcelo Estigarribia: Didn't feature very prominently last season. He's now at Sampdoria.
Marco Borriello: Loan over, back to Rome. Anyone surprised?
Milos Krasic: Awwwww, this is sad. He may not have played much but good ol' Meelosh was always worth a laugh. Now his reptilian visage will be delighting fans of Fenerbahce.
Who's In?
Sebastian Giovinco: Fantastic with Parma last season, Seba scored 15 goals and helped to create even more. Such a performance prompted the bianconeri to demand him back. But can Giovinco replicate last season while under such pressure in Turin?
Lucio: Juventus picked up the bruising centre-back from Inter Milan after watching its defence melt down in the form of Italy at the Euros. But Lucio's best days might be behind him. Juve might want to put faith in those muttered comments of favouritism by referees -- they'll need to turn a blind eye to the Brazilian's elbows.
Kwadwo Asamoah and Mauricio Isla: the pair from Udinese will find familiar comfort in the bianconeri kit. Others might hail the acquisitions of Lucio or Gio, but this was a solid, solid pickup by Juve. Isla (currently recovering from injury) can fill in for Stephan Lichtsteiner or can play in front of him on the right. Asamoah can help reinforce one of the best midfields in Serie A.
Keep An Eye On
Andrea Pirlo. Let go by an AC Milan side who believed him too old for an extended contract, Pirlo alighted at Juventus and promptly showed the world just how dumb his former side were. The midfield maestro guided his side right to the scudetto, yet it's tough to imagine that he'll be just as good this season. He's now 33, and at some point age has got to catch up. He showed a few signs of it last season, a badly-judged tackle here, a misplayed pass there. But his mastery at his craft far exceeded his mistakes, and if Pirlo has another great season left in him, the Old Lady can likely stay top.
Predicted Finish
I don't want to hand Juventus a second straight scudetto, but I can't think who else is going to step up for the title. Milan haven't done enough over the summer, Inter are still rebuilding, Lazio are doing who knows what, Udinese are unrecognizable, and Napoli are slipping. Could this be a title by default?

Greyt Exploitations is a non-profit making organisation formed in 2008 and run entirely by volunteers. We strive to raise the public's awareness of the cruel and inhumane treatment of greyhounds and much of our research and investigation work has been published in the national press. This has helped us to effectively campaign for the full enforcement of existing legislation - stronger protection laws and for the gambling on dogs to be outlawed.
Commercial dog racing - funded and controlled by the gambling industry - is dependent on inherent cruel practices for it's financial viability.
The culling of healthy puppies that fail to chase the mechanical lure or are too slow to 'make the grade'
The destruction of dogs that sustain treatable but 'career ending' injuries on the dangerously configured tracks designed purely for the spectator.
The destruction of healthy greyhounds deemed no longer suitable as a 'betting product' - too old or slow - if no retirement home can be found.
In 2011 the racing industry failed to account for over 10,000 greyhounds bred for British racing - despite much of the data collected by them via the GBGB Retirement Form
"Greyhound racing is a self-regulating gambling business that depends on the uncontrolled breeding and unaccountable disappearance of thousands of dogs every year. That is a situation that is unacceptable and indefensible" ~ Annette Crosbie OBE
Main Announcements
Tia Rescue have many greyhounds looking for love. If you would like to offer a forever loving home to a retired greyhound please click on their logo - thank you!
The League Against Cruel Sports has launched a petition calling for an end to the industry's self-regulation - the mandatory publication of injury records and the creation of a central database for tracking dogs from birth - to retirement - to death. 100,000 signatures ensures a debate in Parliament - let's get the greyhound's voice heard in the corridors of power!

This is my first post here, so hi, nice to meet y'all! I am very interested in planting an Illinois Everbearing Mulberry to go along with my peaches, blueberries, pears, plums, orange, satsuma, lemon, grapefruit, apple, fig, and pecans. I found a fella on craigslist selling "St. Louis Everbearing Mulberries." As I cannont find any information on a variety called St. Louis Everbearing, I am going to assume he has Illinois and is mistaken. My main concern is they are seedlings. All of my other trees are grafted and were bought from Stark Bros. or my local nursery. He claims they will grow true from seedlings, but I would rather get the opinion of some of the members of this forum. |
Follow-Up Postings:
IE is a hybrid of native M.rubra with the introduced M.alba - as are quite a few really good ones, like Collier,David Smith, Stearns, and my own Lawson Dawson selection. I'm very dubious that F2 seedlings - even if self-pollenized - would 'come true from seed'. If he's located in St.Louis, I'll guarantee that there's tons of M.alba pollen floating around - some good, some not so good. Unless he's doing controlled pollenation, there's no guarantee that the pollen parent of any seedling is not a small,bitter,or tasteless white mulberry. But,even if self-pollenized, the F2 generation will likely segrate over a wide range of disparate types and fruit quality. Buy a grafted/budded IE and be done with it. Top producer here, with great fruit quality - but I'm experiencing a lot of 'popcorn disease' fruit infection the last couple of years. |
Thanks lucky! I suspected this was the case. I am going to wait and buy a grafted IE. This gentleman was in New Orleans, however, I am sure there are other varieties floating around still which could have cross pollinated his tree. I was hopeful though, because the only mulberry my local nursery seems to carry is "Native Red Mulberry." I may have to order IE online. I would rather get it locally though, because the trees I got from Stark Bro's came basically as whips and are significantly behind all of the trees I bought locally in development. I imagine they wont have them back in stock until fall or spring. Oh well, probably best not to plant this late in the year anyway right?" |
- Posted by AgroCoders 6 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 15, 14 at 2:52
There was a really big mulberry with juicy mulberries in Chicago, Illinois and Jeffersonville, IN when I was a kid and I came across the same type in Zurich, Switzerland too when I worked there. All had red berries that turned purple when ripe and were really big trees. I think they are run of the mill red mulberries from America. I only ever heard of white mulberries and black mulberries in trying to identify these two shrubs in my yard a couple of weeks ago. As I have discovered two mulberries in my yard but I am not sure what they are yet as they have been repeatedly cut down to the stump and are more 'bushy' as a result. I guess who ever planted them didn't realize the city won't let them get that big close to the utility lines like they are. I hope they are the America red mulberries or whatever those mulberries that are purple and good to each in the later part of the summer. Good luck. |

I have grown some mulberries from seed and the results are all over the map as far as flavor. I had stumbled upon some short bushy plants at a park, they were fruiting while the "trees" were less than 8 feet tall. Of all the seeds I got and planted each plant has different colored fruit and different flavor - at least they fruit while young and seem to want to be bushes instead of trees. In the woods beside my house there is a long row of mulberry trees and none of them have decent flavor and some of them have no flavor at all! If flavor matters, stick with grafted plants. I plan on grafting some of my Illinois Everbearing and Wellington onto these bushy forms in the future. |
Thanks for the tips! I am going to take this advice and get a grafted one. |
I ordered 2 IE mulberry from brunt ridge. Both times they sent well rooted nice trees. I would order from them. |

I live near what I will call the Golden Triangle: I live 15 miles from 3 separate GW's. They are laid out in a triange - 15 miles (approx.) apart.
My question is: Does anyone have a creative use for old golf clubs? All three of the GW stores are over-loaded with used clubs. Does your GW seem to have an over-abundance of anything?

Golf Clubs with wooden shafts may be very valuable. But you gave me an idea they might work for plate flower holders. Not the wooden ones though those I would display somehow. |
- Posted by concretenprimroses 4B NH (My Page) on Sat, Jun 5, 10 at 5:50
The golden triangle, thats a riot, and lucky you (and them)! I tried to find a post of fence flowers made with golf clubs that i remember from years ago. No luck. It must have fallen over the edge. I don't remember how they were made but I do remember liking them. Did anyone save a pic of these? Or is the poster still around? Kathy |
I wss thinking of using them in place of rebar or pipe for garden stakes and glass plate flowers. Depends on the price. I did have another idea. If the handle grips are nice (not wood) to cut them off long enough to use them as hose guides. I suppose either end would work for that. |
- Posted by laurastheme (My Page) on Sat, Jun 5, 10 at 20:04
I remember the fence flowers. Don't know if I saved a pic or not. The center of the flower was the club head, the stem was the shaft and the petals were colorful shoe horns. |
- Posted by concretenprimroses 4B NH (My Page) on Sat, Jun 5, 10 at 20:44
Shoe horns! that is what i couldn't remember. They are similar to the golf club shape and fit well with it. Kathy |
here you go! Louie decided to hop into the photo, so now it's a cat scratcher- |
Here is a link that might be useful: cat scratch fever
I've seen birdhouses where they use the head of the club as a perch |
I saw paper towel holders made with some golf clubs, but don't remember where. |
Great ideas, everyone - thanks!! mjowest- the cat scratch idea is cute. Looking at those golf clubs reminded me of flamingo heads. If I could think of something to use for a beak, they could be painted pink, and would make cute plant stakes. |

Mark D. Miles first joined our Board in January 2006 and currently serves on our CO Committee and our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Mr. Miles' wide array of experience, both in terms of industry and position, give him a valuable perspective from which to contribute to our Board as it oversees our company's dealings with multiple-industry vendors and the public. Mr. Miles has been a member of the Hulman & Company (Hulman) Board of Directors since March 2012 and has been Hulman's Chief Executive Officer since December 2012. Hulman is a private, family-owned company founded in 1850 by Francis Hulman as a wholesale grocery, tobacco and liquor store in Terre Haute, Indiana. Throughout the early half of the 20th century, Hulman became nationally known for its Clabber Girl baking powder, which it began producing in 1899. In 1945, Hulman purchased the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Hulman also owns a television production company, Wabash Valley Broadcasting, which does business as IMS Productions doing in-house work for their Indy Racing League, LLC. From January 2006 to December 2012, Mr. Miles also served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Central Indiana Corporate Partnership, Inc., a not-for-profit organization of central Indiana CEOs and university presidents that seeks to foster growth and opportunity throughout the region. Additionally, Mr. Miles is currently a director for City Financial Corporation, a holding company for City Securities, in Indianapolis, Indiana and serves on its Compensation and Audit Committees. City Securities Corporation is Indiana's oldest and largest, independent, full service investment firm active in investment services, money management, insurance, public finance, corporate finance, taxable fixed income, institutional sales and syndication of tax credits. Also, Mr. Miles recently served as the Chairman of the Board of Our 2012 Super Bowl, the host committee of Super Bowl 2012 in Indianapolis, Indiana. He has held numerous other executive positions in the sports industry, including fifteen years as CEO of the ATP, the official international circuit of men's professional tennis tournaments (1990 to 2005); President of the Organizing Committee of the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis; and President of the RCA Championships (formerly Indianapolis ATP tournament). We find that this exposure to major event planning has prepared Mr. Miles to offer substantive advice in the areas of marketing and negotiating with vendors, and it also provides experience in strategically responding to complex operational and financial challenges and overseeing an array of personnel, both of which are important Board and Committee functions. Mr. Miles was also Executive Director of Corporate Relations for Eli Lilly & Co., an international agricultural, medical instrument, and pharmaceutical company, from 1988 to 1990. Mr. Miles' responsibilities at Eli Lilly included oversight of the company's Washington, D.C. office and all of its federal and state governmental affairs, including all lobbying activities. Additionally, Mr. Miles has had experience managing political campaigns, including a mayoral campaign for the city of Indianapolis and several congressional candidate campaigns for both the Indiana and U.S. legislatures. Not only do these positions further underscore Mr. Miles' diversity of experience in high level executive positions, but we believe that they, and particularly the not-for-profit position, highlight his experience helping businesses plan and strive for growth and show him to be well-situated to strengthen and expand his (and therefore our) business network.

Re:Architecture (136 comments)
Pouring of concrete is analogous to software going to golden master. The architecture design effort that agile would apply to is everything that leads up to that point. Also architecture isn't just about making buildings that don't fall down, not every defect leads to jail time, some defects just mean the building isn't as nice as the client hoped for.
Re:Who needs fast data rates? (275 comments)
I forgot the latency through the earth which is about 42ms. So actually you would need to transmit at 100b / (150ms - 42ms) = 952bps just to break even.
Re:Who needs fast data rates? (275 comments)
Hong Kong to US is about 150ms latency using conventional technology verizon. So taking your own example of needing 100 bits to transmit a useful message (I don't know if that is realistic), the message would need to be transmitted faster than 666bps just to break even with existing communications. Given the cost of neutrino detectors and the current state of technology it just doesn't seem likely.
Re:freedom of Rim (306 comments)
I'm surprised the FOIA applies to state governments. They are independent governments from the U.S. government, and thus U.S. law only applies to U.S. government and interstate transaction. Not internal state government affairs.
The article doesn't specifically say FOIA, just "a freedom of information request". All states have enacted there own version of FOIA.

Reporter thinking to himself while writing the story: "so it's 1000 seconds, lets see thats exactly 16 minutes and 40 seconds. Now what was they where trying to explain to me about powers of 10, I better put that in to look smart, oh yeah, the more relevant number for physicists, who often deal in powers of 10, is 1,000 seconds."

text:
I say to you, you are absolutely free, unconditionally free. Don't avoid the responsibility; avoiding is not going to help. The sooner you accept it, the better, because immediately you can start creating yourself. And the moment you create yourself great joy arises, and when you have completed yourself, the way you wanted it, there is immense contentment - just as when a painter finishes his painting, the last touch, and a great contentment arises in his heart. A job well done brings great peace. One feels that one has participated with God.
God is the creator and the only prayer is to be creative, because it is only through creativity that you participate in God; there is no other way to participate. God has not to be thought about, you have to participate in some way. You cannot be an observer, you can only be a participant; only then will you taste the mystery of it. Creating a painting is nothing, creating a poem is nothing, creating music is nothing compared to creating yourself, creating your consciousness, creating your very being.
But people have been afraid, and there are reasons to be afraid. The first is: it is risky, because only you are responsible. Secondly: the freedom can be misused, because you can choose the wrong thing to be. Freedom means you can choose the right or the wrong; if you are only free to choose the right, it is not freedom.
Then it will be like when Ford made his first cars - they were all black. And he would take his customers into the showroom and tell them, "You can choose any color, provided it is black!"
But what kind of freedom is this? - provided it is right, provided it follows the ten commandments, provided it is according to the Gita or the Koran, provided it is according to Buddha, Mahavira, Zarathustra. Then it is not freedom at all Freedom basically means, intrinsically means that you are capable of both: either choosing the right or the wrong.
And the danger is - and hence the fear - that the wrong is always easier to do. The wrong is a downhill task and the right is an uphill task. Going uphill is difficult, arduous; and the higher you go, the more arduous it becomes. But going downhill is very easy; you need not do anything, gravitation does everything for you. You can just roll like a rock from the hilltop and the rock will reach to the very bottom; nothing has to be done. But if you want to rise in consciousness, if you want to rise in the world of beauty, truth, bliss, then you are longing for the highest peaks possible and that certainly is difficult.
Secondly, the higher you reach, the more there is a danger of falling, because the path becomes narrow and you are surrounded on all sides by dark valleys. A single wrong step and you will simply be gone into the abyss, you will disappear. It is more comfortable, convenient to walk on the plain ground, not to bother about the heights.

Retailers' catalogue scans
Posted by Huw,Eurobricks has posted loads of pictures of the second-half-of-year sets scanned from the retailers' catalogue. I have posted them here, but I might be asked to take them off again, so take a look at them while you can!
127 comments on this article
They look nice though some of them may only be preliminary so the final model may be differnt then whats pictured. The new coast guard and Mars mission sets look really nice and it appears that we get some new aliens and the Mars Mission vehicles transform much like Alpha Team. I look forward to some of the Starwars though I hope the final model of the Magna Droid starfighter contains Magna guards and not Super Battle droids. I'm sure many are happy to see another Republic Gunship but whats with that sticker on the side of it. Is it a monkey with a bomb? To bad both the AT-TE and the Republic Gunship come with only 2 clones. The Creator boat looks huge and comes with a car maybe its a ferry. Anyway I think we should all start saving money for these new sets I know I will.
All the Mars Mission sets look AMA'ZU'ZING!!! Especially the Crystal Reaper! But I'm bummed that we stil can't see the MM Crystal Hawk and the SW 7680 Twilight. I hope that brickset will get a hold of those pics soon.
I surprised they actually have enough demand to make a second wave.
The R. Gunship looks awesome so does the Castle Advent Calendar. The 5 and 10 dollars looking coast guard sets look juniorized though. I do like the helicopter though.
i cant wait 4 the republic gunship and the at-te. I also cant wait 4 the coast guard sets
Thank you, Fighter95!
It looks good, but preliminary. As noted before, that's a P-38, not a magnadroid fighter thingy. I also dont like the look of the gunship.
Has their been summer '08 exo-force sets listed?
Take a look at these:
My 2008 B-shelf gallery (when moderated):
The AT-TE comes with 2 Cloone Troopers, Anakin Skywalker, Ashoka, and Rotta. I don't know who Ashoka and Rotta are, so don't ask.
A new jester helmet! Oh JOY!!!
'I don't know who Ashoka and Rotta are, so don't ask.'
Ashoka is a Padawan, and I don't know about the other.
These will be awesome!!! I'm getting most, if not all of them!
So thats who Ashoka is. Wait, a Padawan! Awesome!
Rotta is probably from the Clone Wars series.
*goes to Wookiepedia and Star Wars Databank to check*
There is no monkey sticker on the side, thats just a websites logo, probably the on who found the pics, so no body ask again!
no tubes. Linear actuator appears to be a gear driven shaft rather than using pneumatics. Interesting move and lots of potential. the new treads leads to a whole new scale of building in the technique sets. very cool to see the changes in that devision of Lego. It will be two years since the nxt robotics set was released -v2 coming this fall?
There is no monkey sticker on the side, thats just a websites logo, probably the on who found the pics, so no body ask again!
lol that makes sence, although i did think it was pretty cool... but thanks for lettin me know imperial13
and can anyone read the people on the atte i got up to anikan and i cant read any further
I'm really starting to like the Mars Missions sets, their sort of reminiscent of some of the old '80s '90s space sets. The "Hypersonic Operations Aircraft" reminded me almost immediately of the "Deep Freeze Defender," and the "Armored Drilling Unit" reminded me of the "Mega Core Magnetizer." I'm gonna have to get me some of those sets!
Imperial13, thats Saliacous Crumb (sp?) on the side holding a bomb. And smiley905, check my above post.
Commander Bacara. You are right, that is a crumb. No it's not a websites logo, it's what Bacara said. Sorry Imperial13, you were wrong.
Disappointing the technic sets don't seem quite as detailed as there predecessors such as the legendry air tech truck 8868. This had mock engine, steering, pneumatic controlled truntable as well as the crane. The excavator looks only big enough for control of the jib unless i am mistaken, same with teleloader.
"There is no monkey sticker on the side, thats just a websites logo, probably the on who found the pics, so no body ask again!"
No, the sticker is from the real picture!
There is better pics of the AT-TE, V-19 Torrent and Magna Droid Fighter here:
sweet in that picture it clearly shows in the bottom right corner that it comes with two magnagaurds. the shadows are of super battle droids but below that it says it comes with magmnagaurds. a lot of people were worried that it would just come with super battle droids so i just thought i would clear that up.
I guess the Republic Gunship and AT-TE won't really have good based on what I see in this section. But, I don't have those sets and I REALLY want them, and since they are 2008 sets, its all the better! I don't have any CITY sets I think but I like the COAST GUARD a lot.
To smiley905:
It looks to me like the other characters that come with the new AT-TE are Obi-Wan and Plo Koon, but I might be wrong. I'll try to find out more. Really looking forward to that set - it looks great.
Hope this helps. :)
Oops, those were on the Republic Gunship (Doh!). My mistake.
I think they're Ashoka and Rotta who come with the AT-TE, but I'm not sure who they are.
Sorry for the double post.
The Coast Guard theme rocks. I plan to get the whole series.
Yea i'm planning to get the whole series too.
same here but does any body no whenthere coming out?
the new star wars sets look great but i'm really looking forward to the new castle line. the coast guard series also looks great. does anyone think that the new castle sets will be out b march? if so then im stocking up on mine defenders. you can never have to many orcs and dwarfs.
thanks to commander bacara for the great links!
Lego should really do something about the crappy legs the produce. not that the figs their in are crappy though. its like in the mine how theres a throne but the lord just stands in front of it pointlessly. but it would look REALLY bad if the minilegs were movable. i just hate that thought.
Also are there going to be any more impulse sets? like mabe an Indy one and a "guard" one. that would be sooooo great...
also sorry for posting so many times
i agree about having a indiana jones guard impulse. Perfect for building a non starwars army.
i wonder what the agent sets are gonna have in 'em...
I was hoping the new technics sete would wow..sadly only the tekehandler looks like one i will get..but it could have been more detailed e.g proper pads on the stabilizers etc..the big disappointment was the excavator..it could easily have been on a par with the backhoe loader,frontend loader or even the fanastic bulldozer(o7)com'on lego what about a road grader or a land scraper or cement mixer..hopefully!!
you know the more i think about it the more potential impulse sets I think of... like a batman one or maybe a jester like in the advent calendar. that would all be cool. also a little heads up for the upcoming indy sets, the crystal skull or whatever, there are some apparently Russian soldiers in the river chase and the biggy set. ust look for the green guys. dont believe me? look up lego indiana jones on wikipedia.
Posted by legoville410, Jan 7 2008 4:28PM
same here but does any body no whenthere coming out?
The summer of 2008
TY mocha. Hopefully the agent sets will have some useful stuff like guns etc...
and i agree with exo-forever about the endless possiblities impulse sets. The list goes on and on.......
I wonder when they will upload the pictures of the Twilight Set?
I want to see the Twilight too. It's probably something from the Clone Wars series or The Forse Unlaeshed game.
I used to watch the clone wars (cartoon right?) and I don't remember anything called the twilight. It's probably from the force unleashed or something else.
I mean't the new live action series. lol
ooooooohhhhhh ok then i have no clue. lmao
Yea. Hopefully they will bring out new stuff that they haven't made before.
omgbrick i totaly agree with you that the set will change hopefully for the better.
it seens that every year they are releasing more as if to beat the previous year for the number of sets you can buy. if you go to browse and click on the years you can see what i mean. such as in the 80's there are betwean 2 and 6 pages. the 90's between 5 and 13 pages. between 2000 and 2007 there are between 16 to 18 pages.
2008 looks like being quite an amazing Lego year. I like the new Coastguard sets; I think they look the part (even if the jeep/4x4 is rather gigantic).
For me there's a lot anyways; the entire Indy line, the City Post/Cargo line, the Creator House, Town Plan, all the new Castle sets (although the troll's battle wagon I'll get only for completeness; apart from the figs, it's too like the Viking one). I'd also like to get the Police Station, and the new Mars Mission sets interest me a bit, unlike the old ones.
Yep, all in all, I think this is the best year in some time for Lego!
i have found some pictures if the new VW bettle. it will be coming out on the 1st of july 2008 and will be available from lego stores and S@H. it will cost about 120 euros. it is about 40 cm long and has 1000 pieces. they made the motor and then they said it doesn't look like the real thing so they pulled i tapart and rebuilt it. the motor actually works. i will put the pictures onto brickshelf but for the mean time here is someone elses pictures.
Have there been any more pictures of the battle wheel? I really want to see that set in focus.
Guys, you know these images are LEAKED? This means they are illegal, and I really don't think you guys a brickset should spread illegal lego images...
Plus, the SW LEGO license ends in 2011. 3 years from now. TLG could still come out with many great new sets.
*secretly wishes for UCS Episode III Jedi Starfighter*
I'm really excited for 08. The StarWars sets already look great, mostly from a design perspective, and the new Mars sets look great as well. Even Exo-Force looks pretty good, and I hate Exo-Force.
I'll probably end up buying a lot of Mars and StarWars sets, and ignoring the others, but I've never been more tempted to buy Castle-sets than this year.
exo-forever11 so is this "Impulse series" just small sets within other themes like CITY? And yes, I agree with everyone, this is probably going to be one of the best years for LEGO.
Forgot to add this to my previous comment but the only bad thing about really good big sets, is that they are expensive! I mean, I can only get those kind of big sets(like the Republic Gunship for example) on Christmas day or on my birthday if I am really lucky.
Lego Star Wars sets cost more because of licensing with Lego; some of the money has to go to Lucasfilm, so to avoid losing money Lego 'up' their prices.
Sounds like a reasonable answer legoguysw, makes sense.

They are from the 2008 retailers' catalogue and I suppose in an ideal world they would not find their way outside of toy shops and onto the 'net, but they do whether LEGO like it or not. My recent dealings with them (over the sets for the new IJ movie) suggest that once they are out there, there's really no point them trying to remove them from everywhere.
Besides the US, German and UK toy fairs will be in a couple of weeks and traditionally pics from them showing all new sets appear pretty quickly afterwards so I don't suppose they are that bothered.
Having said all that, Steve, if you're tuning in and you want them removed, drop me a note!
To all ya'll people saying that LEGO has got some major set making to do on Star Wars, don't forget about that new(non-animated) television series that's coming out in 2009. Can't wait for 2008 to progress, 'cause I too believe that this year will be one of the best years yet for lego.
Lego Star Wars cost more for its name, for example. The UCS Star destroyer cost NZD 729.99 and has 3104 pieces. But the Eiffel Tower has 3428 pieces and it cost NZD 439.99. That show thats it cost more for the SW name.
For rockdog3 I don't know what Lego's motivation was for making the Impulse sets, but I was reading somewhere that they were a sort of "substitute" to buying action figures (like no more action figures, Lego!). In my opinion there nothing more then a way to boost up your armies, teams, etc, with some either hard to get of exotic figs. Thats why I was so excited 'bout them earlier and thats why I wanted to hrow out some random fig ideas for impulse.
It would be great if there were Impulse sets with One Large troll only, for Castle. But in Star Wars Impulse, there should be sets with: one royal guard, one gungan, one clone, one jedi, one wookiee, or one rebel soldier. On the evil side there could be: 2 battle droids, 1 droideka, 1 geonosian, one stormtrooper or one bounty hunter.
I so agree with the giant troll impulse. I think I might have started something here, wishing for certain Impulse...
to: exo-forever11
i think lego is mimicing the playmobil minifigs trying to get more business(Not that i prefer playmobil but i do have boxes full of them)
OMG I never thought of that! thats where they got the idea! And Play mobile does do that: packaging INDIVIDUAL figures. My friend's did has got TONNES of Play mobile like: KNIGHTS, POLICE, FIREMEN, ETC. I see a huge similarity. Great discovery! (and they're both European)
to David1985:
What do you mean rights? I mean they should have the right to do that... If they sold individual Star Wars figures like what Commander-Cody said,"one royal guard, one gungan, one clone, one jedi, one wookiee, or one rebel soldier" I think that would be a big hit. I mean, Star Wars figures are very popular. I think so anyway.......
Yea. True.
So, there will be more sets in the summer other than these?
I hope shadowaisha is right. i still want impiriel impersination <*;)
I have a source that tells me that The Twilight is a cargo ship that Anakin uses in the new Clone Wars anamated series. There is a video on starwars.com of a trailer for the new series, and you see the ship about halfway through the video, and it looks like a B-Wing without one of the wings.
What is your source???
Im focused on getting all the new SW and City an probably the indy sets. None of them have arrived tho.
here is the web site that i was telling you about of the close ups of tyhe new VW bettle and other car.
remember how lego asked what car they should make next and people said that they should make the bettle the most. there are also other cars
I like the cars lego vally
This years technic suck. I really don't want battery powered legos.
To moloko: the excavator and the telehandler aren't battery-powered.
Speaking of which, I hope the new linear actuators don't mean the end of true pneumatics! Each architecture has its strengths and weaknesses, and neither peoperly replaces the other.
To rockdog, we already know why LEGO can't make Star Wars impulse sets. David already informed us that LEGO was sued in 2000 or sometime around there by Hasbro for making those types of sets, 'cause Hasbro thought that it should be the only company to sell individual packets of only star wars character sets.
P.S. David could probably explain it better than I can.
pneumatics probably won't go away. Linear Actuators are gear driven which severely limits placement to locations you can access with a gear or shaft. They are cool because they may be stronger, appear to have a longer throw and I bet they are quicker/more predictable.
What I really want to see added to pneumatics is a battery powered compressor!
Did they get sued because lego sold those star wars minifig packs?
YEEEEEES, legolover94! ;)
So what is your guys predictions of what TLC is going to come out with next year for Star Wars? I think we will see:
New Ep. II Jedi Starfighter (possibly this year)
UCS Droid Starfighter
UCS Invisible hand
UCS Accamator
Rebel Blockade Runner (like the mini-fig ISD)
I'm not sure I know what your talkin' about, Commander Bacara. /:|
Oh! Oh! My turn! Ok, how about a rainbow collection of Episode II and III Jedi Starfighters! (like what Dwarf Vader said) All with there appropriete Jedi!
redfox: im not sure theyll make another jedi starfighter for a few years, they just made the clone wars version. We just started this year, and we dont have all those sets yet, so lets wait a little while, Commander Bacara. :)
Me: Geez, I have the set and I already forgot about it! LOL!
I am sorry for repeating it if someone already said it but... Did anybody see that AT-TE? There is that glare on the box probably with a light, and a slight shadow... Like a persons shadow... I mean, do you think somebody can already have that set somewhere in Europe? Please say anything if this was already discussed...(I don't really feel lke looking through ALL the comments)
No, I haven't heard anyone say that, rockdog. And, dwarf vader, I know they shoudn't have gotten sued, but they almost did. But, still the LEGO company can't make sets like that 'cause that would draw attention back to that whole sueing story and the lego company may have to pay a large settlement. Like I said, David could probably explain it better than I can.
Ok fine. I may have read through most comments 2 times or so... I APOLIGIZE...
Don't think though I don't read the comments though, usually I read all comments from discussion(I think so). I mean I am a lego fan too you know? :)
When I'm bored on brickset, I'll sometimes just read through ALL the comments on a forum. I enjoy a good brickset read once in a while. :)
Lol. Would you read one with 200+ comments? :P
i know this is increadably late, but thanks comander backara!
What did I do? I'm confused.
Oh, ok! Thanks DV and you're welcome anyone who thanked me! :)
dwarf vader i wrote some comments of the the new bettle earlyer if you scroll up you will find it.
No problem, DV.
Dwarf Vade, I was skeptical about those "small cheapo cars" that are smaller than minifig scale until I realised that all my playing with matchbox cars as a kid I'd have happily used these new Lego racer cars instead. They are just like superior interchangeable matchbox cars.
I think it is great for Lego to try capture more of the toy market simply selling different styles of Lego models like that!
The Tiny Turbos are exactly that, interchangeable Matchbox or Hotwheels cars. I love them and can't wait to see what the new cars look like each year. This year I was so disappointed. The cars look too boxy except for the white car which I bought. This car is awesome. I thought about the TT's when I reviewed them for brickset and came to the conclusion that they were like Hotwheels cars. This theme is one of my favorite themes, perhaps because as a child I loved Hotwheels and Matchbox cars. Why not tap into this market if it is still a LEGO set?
you no, they should make travke for the tt and it would be just like hot wheels!that would rock
sry i meant track, i think my keyboards messed
Before LEGO made the tiny turbos, there were motorized (pull back motors) Racers cars with ugly fake minifig creature things in the cockpit. LEGO made track for these Racers. The track was kind of useless for races because the track was only wide enough for 1 car!
While on the topic of Racers, did anybody buy the F430 Challenge, set #8143? I built the yellow Ferrari and was wondering which parts I would need to make the red one at the same time so I can display both models at the same time. Did anybody attempt this or find an inventory on line for doing so? PLMK.
Woah! Thats a lot of themes.
Hey, hey, hey! Did anyone notice that brickset just uploaded two new sets to their database: the new star wars mini snowspeder and mini tie fighter! Yes! I'm so happy! After three years, LEGO is finally making mini sets! YAAAAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!
P.S. Bmwlego, don't get upset. Star Wars is just a popular theme.
Ok?? So, what does that mean, fighter??? :|
has anyone noticed town plan is exactly like back to the future?
I heard this said many times, I don't know this but whats "AFOL"?
i think back to the future sets wouldnt be that great, kinda boring.
the dalorian, yes that would be cool.. but i think thats the only one id buy
I don't think there will be Back to the Future sets any time soon. Minimates recently released figures based on this movie. I like to see LEGO sets hit the shelves, not licensed sets. My favorite lines are City, Train and Creator. I don't feel that LEGO needs to sell licensed products but I am a realist and know that there is way too much money to be made by selling themes such as Star Wars, Indy Jones, Sponge Bob, and the world's greatest detective, Batman. I guess this type of business practice also keeps the LEGO line of toys current and new every few years or so.
While typing this post I realized that I love my LEGO Batman sets and am glad that LEGO made them. If I enjoy Batman, why can't LEGO make other themes based on properties LEGO doesn't own like SW, HP and SB? Besides, these sets often give us parts, colors and ideas that we might otherwise never see in the LEGO universe.
I didn't read the whole thing, so sorry if someone allready pointed this out.
People are complaning about the Technic sets, namely the "vertical aculator" part, but if you consider that most of the new sets are motor controlled with the power functions...this of how many motors it would take to controll the pneumatics 1 for the compressor,and 1 for each valve. Plus all the other gunctions being motorized, that would add up to a very costly set ( 250usd+ ).
I think we can be happy with new new "vertical acculator" as long as lego doesn't see it as a replacement for pneumatics.
Hopefully some time in the neer future we will get a technic "superset" like a full ir controll, pneumatic excavator/bulldoser/other equipment, but you have to consider that it would be FAR more than any normal lego set which top off at the 150usd mark, ranging with the death star and the star destroyer, as a collector set, not a standard issue set released to stores, but untill then I think we can be happy with the good sets in the pas couple years compared to the few "dark years" before then, where there was nothing good AT ALL ;)
When i was younger (a lot younger), the technic sets always had instructions on how to add the motor set to either the main or secondry model of each set. I have not seen this so much on recent models. With a part such as the linear actuator it would be good to see instructions on how to add power function sets to each set, especially i think the excavator set, now that would be good with motors, recievers and controllers.
The pics of the new 8028 Mini Tie Fighter and 8029 Mini Snowspeeder are finally here on brickset!!!!!!! :D
Another Note-- The vertical acculator looks EXACTLY like the consept art that someone posted on brickshelf for a hydraulic cylinder, accept that lego's one has a universal joint on the back instead of the two pneumatic/hydraulic outlets, makes us wonder where a lot of lego's inpiration comes from
Why are lego doing more mini sets? It doesnt make any sense! ITS RIDICULOUS! THERE ARE ONLY TWO OF THEM! SOMEONE EXPLAIN IT!
What's wrong with mini sets? I, for one, am excited.
I to like the mini sets. I have the train and truck one from this year and the excavator one from last year. They are good examples of what you can do with a small amount of lego to create a relatively detailed model. It can help develop peoples 'snot' techniques also for moc's.
Ummm, okay. But, a jon11380, not to sound rude or anything, but I was sorta talkin' about star wars minis. To tell you the truth, I didn't even know that technic made mini sets, but I get your point. :)
Actually i was talking creator. I find the star wars stuff to commercialised, and generally it is something that does not interest me in my own lego hobby, i just like real things. I suppose it isbecause i grew up after the first films, but long beforete second set of films :)
saying that though( sorry for double post, several years ago i did buy the mindstorms droid development kit, that was quite good fun!
Does brickset allow us all to talk about summer '08 sets? Because I have some news...
Ooooh! Please do tell, dekarxp! :)
Heres the link:
This might be what dekarxp was tailking about. Credit to him aswell.
Okay the news is from my friend Gert-Jan...He states that the TIE defender will be released in the summer! And pics of the TIE is coming anytime now and he also says that their is a rumor of a special edition exo set...Hope it's true and thanks for the minifig pics!
WOW! Those new magna droids look incredible and I love the fact that some of these new clones come with antenas! I can't wait for these sets to come out!
Obi wans hair looks like a sausage...
Cant wait till the TX-130 fighter tank comes out! My guess is it comes with Yoda, Mace, and Durge! How cool would that be? Or maybe an aayla secura... hopefully a red clone... a forest one (like in the turbo tank on the speeder) would be cool... i cant wait!
So, does anyone have a link to the pic of the 7680 Twilight set?
I've been searching, but have not yet found pics of 7680 or 7681 :(
Oh! Ok! :) Well, please notify me when you do, detective! ;)
I'll be sure to do that :D
Ok! Thanks! :D

Dragon Kong Mahjong
0 stars Not yet available
Full user review
"Real Mah Jong for Skilled Players"
If you're up to speed, you can play against the computer or against other players around the world. It's real Mah Jong, not the solitaire tile-matching computer game.
If you're a beginner at Mah Jong, this is NOT the one for you to learn on. Even against the computer, play is very fast and you should perhaps already know how to play the game before diving in. Not for the faint of heart.
Looking to LEARN to play the actual ancient game of Mah Jong? (Not the computer solitaire version, but the four-player ancient board game.) Look elsewhere. This is for experienced players who already know the ins and outs of the game. If that's you, you might love it. Allows online play against other users, or practice against the computer.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I love this trifold save the date! It's very unique and gives opportunity to use several engagement photos! Also, the design team worked with me to include the text that I needed (that did not originally fit) and to change the colors to match my wedding colors!"
"These Save the Dates were beautiful and I'm so happy we chose them! I was worried that the foil would get lost over the busy photo (there were trees) but the foil looked beautiful and you could definitely read it. Can't wait to send out and see what our friends and family think!"
"- I was able to personalize the pictures and the placement of them, along with names and information. I was also able to personalize the message completely on the back - font and all! - I love how quickly these arrived!!! early than I expected is always a fun surprise! - The paper quality is great, very durable. - I was most impressed with the quality of the pictures, they looked AMAZING. You could see all the detail. - I also love how they were packaged. Keeping them protected. - I will continue to order my wedding details here. The prices are great too!"
"This was my first purchase with Wedding Paper Divas, and it truly exceeded my expectations. The process is VERY easy- you can select from a large number of designs, personalize it quickly, and then I love how a professional designer reviews it for you. Much about the wedding process is complex and stressful, but not Wedding Paper Divas!"
"First off, the final product totally encompasses my wedding theme and feel. I am in love with my save the dates! Because of the texture of the paper and matte finish, the image isn't 100% crisp-almost like it has a slight filter on it. Which ended up working perfectly with the photos I chose, giving it an ethereal feel. The design I chose has a phot of us on the front and back, with just a little of the blush pink text boxes at the bottom, and rose gold foiling. I chose the scalloped kind of cut for the shape of the card and that little detail made it look so unique! I ordered gold envelopes and when they arrived they were very gold! (Which I love) they are nice and thick and I wrote on them with black sharpie. The ink didn't bleed or seep though which was a plus, but with the texture and color of the envelope the sharpie dried to an almost charcoal or soft black finish. Something to consider. Overall, I am incredibly satisfied with the final product and it arrived over a week early."

Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project
April 11th, 2014
Bowl-a-Thon page of the week: Tana, with the Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project!
Congratulations to Abortion Access Bowl-a-Thon Page of the Week WINNER Tana, bowling next week with the Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project!
Tana's story is incredibly powerful and moving.
She starts by saying, "I'm bowling for abortion access because abortion funds helped me when I needed an abortion, and I want to make sure that everyone has access to the same options I did."
And from there, the details are wrenching.
Abortion fund volunteers know her dilemma well: because of her high-risk pregnancy and condition, Tana's doctor strongly advised her to seek an abortion. But because her pregnancy had progressed past 12 weeks, her insurance would not cover an abortion unless she was hemorrhaging heavily.
A mother of three, Tana could not believe what she was hearing:
"In other words, they could not help unless I was literally dying right there and then."
Categories: Bowl-a-Thon , Bowl-a-Thon Page of the Week, Funds, Richmond Reproductive Freedom Project
Virginia lives in federal prison.
Twenty weeks ago, she was sexually assaulted. She has no money for an abortion and her family is unable to help.

The Composers
Nikita Koshkin
One of the most popular of guitar showpieces, Nikita Koshkin's Usher Waltz was composed in 1984. Inspired by a passage in Edgar Allen Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher in which Sir Roderick improvises wildly on a Weber waltz, Koshkin determined to write a concert waltz in a stylised romantic manner. Reflecting the gradual descent into madness and crumbling of the Usher clan, the waltz is both beautiful and terrible. Listen out for the wild pizzicato twangs and the ghostly harmonics in this wickedly humorous piece!

There are a variety of alcoholic beverage display cabinets and shelves out there, but none come close to this intellectually designed 'WineHive' by John Paulick.
This wine rack is extremely beneficial in a variety of environments as it can be pieced together or pieced apart according to the user's needs. When the pieces are put together to form racks they end up shaped hexagonal exactly like a bee hive. Avid wine drinkers do not have to worrying about a growing collection for this rack can grow with each purchase as well. The WineHive is a home-inventive concept as it is purely portable, size-customized and presents a design that is very simplistic and modern. Not just wine drinkers but any bottle collector may want to invest in this John Paulick creation for it means nothing but good things for an organized home.

Follow-Up Postings:
You would have to look at the tag to see who the grower is. Different growers have different names for their plants. If you don't have the tag, but remember who you bought it from, they can tell you who the grower is. You could then email that grower a picture of your flower and they can give you the name. |

noun \ˈdēm\Definition of DEME
: a unit of local government in ancient Attica
: a local population of closely related interbreeding organisms
Origin of DEME
Greek dēmos people, deme
First Known Use: 1833
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)In ancient Greece, a country district or village, as distinct from a polis. In the democratic reforms (508–507 BC) promoted by Cleisthenes, the demes of Attica (the area around Athens) gained a voice in local and state government. The Attic demes had their own police powers, cults, and officials. Males aged 18 years became registered members of the deme. Members decided deme matters and kept property records for taxation. Each deme sent representatives to the Athenian boule in proportion to its size. The term continued to be applied to local districts in Hellenistic and Roman times.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
MEXICO/BRAZIL/ENERGY - Brazil's Petrobras Overtakes Pemex in Investment, Production
Released on 2013-02-13 00:00 GMT

-- Mexico City Reforma reports that according to figures included in the
Brazilian oil company's annual report, Petrobras has overtaken Mexican
Petroleum (Pemex) in terms of future investments and production, while
launching infrastructure projects set to consolidate its position as the
region's largest oil company. According to a report released by Petrobras
president Jose Sergio Gabrielli, in 2010 the Brazilian company went from
9th to 4th on the list of global energy companies, and announced total
investments of $224 billion from 2010 to 2014, at an average of $44.8
billion per year. This represents more than twice as much as Pemex's
recent investment rate of $20 billion per year. Furthermore, Petrobras has
also narrowly overtaken Pemex in terms of oil production, thanks to a
record yield of 2,598,000 barrels of oil per day last April, compared with
Pemex's 2,593,000 barrels per day during the same month. Nevertheless,
Pemex still exports more oil than Petrobras, at a rate of 1,321,000
barrels per day compared with the Brazilian company's 733,000 barrels per

Exquisite Pots II: Red-Handed
View and shop the exhibition online
The Northern Clay Center exhibition, Exquisite Pots II: Red-Handed, is based, in part, on its predecessor, Exquisite Pots: 6 Degrees of Collaboration (2008), which explored collaborations in porcelain and derived its idea from the 1920s Surrealist game "Exquisite Corpse," where each successive collaborator built upon the preceding work of another without fully knowing what had come before.
Reimagined, Exquisite Pots II: Red- Handed steps outside the parameters of the first exhibition, now exploring collaborations in earthenware, and expressly encouraging the participants to communicate, alter, and redefine the signature forms of their peers through every stage of the making process. With nearly absolute freedom, eight artists, for a period of eight months, will take part in a bisque and greenware exchange, sending their works to one another, with four artists working collaboratively in residence at Northern Clay Center. The collaborative partners receiving the work will alter and glaze the pots with their own processes and palette. Not simply reacting, the artists will be taking initiative to spur, challenge, and problem solve throughout the project through constant communication with each other. With one common bond, the material, the artists will be forced to reconsider what is usually a singular and solitary process of making — despite one's influences — and concede their own vision to that of someone else.
This exhibition reflects on the pertinence of collaboration in the 21st century and on the effect of a maker imparting themselves on something not wholly their own. We've assigned the artists an almost overwhelming opportunity to respond, erase, elaborate, and leave their mark on an object, developing a new relationship with it. What is the result for those of us twice removed — the casual viewers of the final pieces? Will collaborative work speak as clearly as a singular voice? We expect the process to be challenging and the results to be more broadly contextual than a work made by just one individual, exemplary of our modern age in its blurring of boundaries, questioning of authorship, and breadth of inclusiveness.
The participants in the exhibition are: Jason Bige Burnett (Bakersville, NC), Marc Digeros (North Hills, CA), Ursula Hargens (Minneapolis, MN), Joseph Pintz (Columbia, MO), Lisa Orr (Austin, TX), Liz Quackenbush (State College, PA), Pete Scherzer (Aiea, HI) and Holly Walker (Randolph, VT).
In conjunction with the exhibition, Bige Burnett, Hargens, Pintz, and Orr were in residence at Northern Clay Center. Between July 14th and 26th, they decorated, altered, and glazed each other's work. Their work (and their process) can be tracked now on the Exquisite Pots blog.

Wow, this is one of the hottest videos ever, this woman is hot and can really move! I would love to be balls deep in her pussy or ass from behind as she moves like that, would be one wild orgasm for sure! ;-)

This video is one of a kind. Nothing else makes me cum as hard or consistently as this does.
"DAMN!!!" August 29, 2013
.....DAMN!! I wish I was on top of her man. I would love 2 feel her pussy or her ass milk my dick of all my nutt. Now if I can get a girl 2 roll her hips & squeeze her booty real tight like that while I am on top of her while she is laying on her stomach, that would drive me nuts. ;)
